Established in 1824, the Plymouth Cordage Company became the largest manufacturer of rope and twine in the world. It was the largest employer in Plymouth for over 100 years and It was here that the rope used on the USS Constitution was was manufactured. It is with great pride that the 1620 Winery, one of the longest standing wineries in Plymouth, announces its new location at Cordage Park. This location that has historical ties to both Plymouth and the world, will be the new home for the winery’s production line. Our long awaited state-of-the-art 13,000+ square foot function facility is

Hello Wine Lovers! Hope you all made it through the storm! If I have learned anything in my first year of wedding coordinating, it’s that couples are looking for something new & unique- they want to get married somewhere none of their friends or family have been married. I’m hearing 9 times out of 10, “we don’t want to get married at a country club” or, “we aren’t interested in another hotel ballroom,” and as an event coordinator for a brand new venue, I think this is our biggest asset. It is also what makes our venue so appealing. Millennials

Hi Wine Lovers! Sorry for not posting for awhile, I’ve been busy, busy with weddings! Speaking of weddings, we’ve all heard the term ‘Bridezilla,’ but do you know what a ‘Bridechilla’ is? I didn’t until about five minutes ago. Since starting my position here and getting to meet numerous brides, I’m finding them all to be very relaxed, and none of them strike me as Bridezillas- not one! Now, my thinking was, okay, rustic winery venue, we won’t get many bridezillas, we will get the laidback brides who want that rustic feel. However, it seems Millennials have coined the term

Hi There Wine Lovers! Happy Tuesday & Happy (almost) Turkey Day more importantly! Now, I’ll get right into this week’s blog post. Last week, I discussed the negative reputation that goes along with being a Millennial. This week, I wanted to focus on the positive traits Millennials possess! Yes, I found an article where people talk nicely about Millennials, hooray! The author is also a fellow Millennial, but let’s disregard that an take the compliments while we can get them, right? Every generation has their flaws, but Millennials get the worst of the flaws if you search us on Google.

We all cringe when we hear the word “millennial.” Millennials especially cringe when we hear it. The word has gained such a negative reputation, but do we really deserve the bad rap? We are classified as “lazy” and “entitled.” However, why would a lazy and entitled group of people be studied so intensely? Because maybe there is more to us than being lazy and entitled. We are the largest group of people on Earth, so maybe people should rethink the negative connotation seeing we are the now and the future. According to an article written by Matt Anderson, another fellow

White dress, church wedding, cut the cake, bride’s parents pay for the wedding, groom’s pay for the rehearsal dinner, Maid of Honor, Best Man, speeches, the list goes on as to what a “traditional” wedding is supposed to look like. But, if I’ve learned anything from starting a job as an event coordinator, it’s that traditional is no longer the tradition and that is because of millennials. I found an interesting article discussing the top six things Millennials have changed in the wedding world, and they are pretty accurate. The first major change is Millennials are skipping the church ceremony.

Millennials hate phone calls. It’s a proven fact, and a group I absolutely fall into. You see us glued to our phones, but not because we are expecting a phone call, but because we are checking our texts, emails, social media, etc. The “phone” app is the 5th most used app among the general public according to research done by Forbes. So why is it we hate phone calls so much? “This generation grew up with the gradual introduction of instant messaging, texting, email, and other forms of written communication. Because they’re just as instantaneous, but provide you the ability

Happy Saturday Wine Lovers! Many of you already know me, but for those who don’t, my name is Jenn Brodeur and I am lucky enough to be the Event Coordinator at 1620 Winery & Wine Bar. Focusing prominently on weddings, and being a Millennial myself, the idea of a blog with a Wedding & Millennial focus seemed like a no-brainer. Construction at our Cordage Park location is coming along wonderfully and I am happy to announce we have 26 weddings booked for the 2018 & 2019 season. I’m very lucky to work with amazing couples, the majority of which are

Meet Robert and Raquel Mullaney of 1620 Winery & Wine Bar in Plymouth BOSTON VOYAGER MAGAZINE: July 19, 2017 Today we’d like to introduce you to Robert and Raquel Mullaney. Robert and Raquel, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today? We owned a Home Healthcare company for 15 years based out of Plymouth, MA we sold in 2015 and saw that the Plymouth Winery (est. in 1975) was up for sale. We stopped in to look and thought that the location would make a great Wine Bar, but not a winery. So
